Biography
Jacqueline Ruvier was born on October 26, 1949 in the commune of Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, Department of Savoy , France .
In 1967, she entered the main team of the French national team and played in the very first season of the emerging Alpine Skiing World Cup, in particular, at the stage in the Italian Sestriere, she was in the top ten in the classification of downhill skiing.
Due to too high competition in the team, for a long time she could not take the leading position, but the 1970/71 season turned out to be really successful for her - she climbed the World Cup podium several times, took sixth place in the classification of giant slalom and seventh in general classification of all disciplines. The following season, at the home stage in Val d'Isere, she won the first and only victory in the World Cup by winning downhill competitions. In 1973, it was close to getting a small Crystal Globe, becoming third in the downhill behind the Austrians Annemarie Moser-Prel and Viltrud Drexel [1] .
The greatest success at the adult international level was achieved in the 1974 season, when she visited the World Championships in St. Moritz and brought back the bronze dignity award received in the giant slalom program - only compatriot Fabienne Serra and German Traudl Treichl passed ahead . In this case, the downhill was only twelfth.
Thanks to a series of successful performances, Rouvier won the right to defend the country's honor at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck - in the giant slalom she closed the top ten, while she showed the sixth result at the finish. Soon after the end of this Olympics, she decided to end her sports career. Has a track record of a total of 12 World Cup medals: one gold, six silver and five bronze. The highest position in the overall standings is seventh place (twice). He is, among other things, a two-time champion of France in alpine skiing [2] .
Subsequently, she married and took the surname Lyon.
